“Lots of Country Fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

This was our second visit to the Apple Farm Inn. The first was 20 years ago. We have always wanted to return and we finally did. We were not disappointed. We love the atmosphere. We loved the decorations throughout the entire hotel. We loved the very well decorated rooms. We stayed around Thanksgiving time and it was already VERY WELL decorated for Christmas. We have stayed at many places during the Christmas Hoidays and have never experienced such a VERY WELL decorated hotel. The entire place was a Country Christmas Wonderland! The service in every aspect of the entire hotel was excellent and impecable. We were truly amazed at the friendly staff. There was always a friendly offer of coffee, tea, sweet treats, etc. available in the lobby for snacking.

Our room was outstanding. Each room is very well and wonderfully decorated in a country theme. The rooms were noticably well cleaned and prepared each day. They really pay attention to details. ALL-in-All, we hope that it will not be another 20 years until we return. We love it there.

Something to keep in mind...We were in a renovated "king" bed room on the upper (3rd) floor. Excellent and worth the couple extra dollars. The bottom (1st) floor is "BELOW" street/lobby level. Kind of basement like. Keep that in mind.

Room Tip: We were in a renovated King bed room on the upper (3rd) floor. Excellent and worth the couple extra...

“Christmas Farm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The Christmas decoration is truly unique and I have to say we liked a lot that idea.
We loved the fireplace in our room!! Excellent idea with free tea, coffee and cider in the lobby.
Rooms are clean and spacious, staff very friendly and seems to be very well trained.
The only minus is the restaurant. Steak was way too overcooked, duck confit not very tasty.
Roomservice breakfast for two was close to $US 50,- which I believe is little too expensive.

“A great place for the holidays”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We stayed here for Thanksgiving weekend. We thoughly enjoyed our stay. The room doors were decorated,and the hallways were even decorated. It really felt like a holiday. When we registered we were given wine, cookies, cider, meal vouchers, and an invitation to a guest reception (held every day). We felt like celebrities!! The gift shop was great. Their selection of gift items especially for the holdiays were things you would not find anywhere else, and they even had a 40% discount for Black Friday.
Our room was cute and a great price. The food was very good. My husband said it was the best country fried steak he had ever had.
We felt like we had gone away to a magical place. Keep up the good work!!

Room Tip: We had the smallest room at the inn. The bed was a double and maybe a little small for two people...

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Loved the Apple Farm Inn. Our room was very spacious and had a fireplace. Great location, because it is right next to CalPoly. We recommend the restaurant for breakfast. The farm is has goats and other animals.

“Family Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

This was a great place to stay with the family. Room was large, well-appointed, and clean. Bathtub for washing up the boys was helpful. The hotel is what you'd expect it to be: a country kitchen feel. The restaurant served hardy food and catered to the boys too. In-room breakfast was a basket of piping hot basket of what appeared to be fresh baked muffins. The grounds were fun for the family to explore. The gift shop provided an hour of entertainment in and of itself. We were able to take quick drives to Morro Bay, Avila Beach (the lighthouse was not open on a Friday), and the mission. The hotel is also close to the cool little downtown of SLO. All in all, a great find.
